News • Re: Luanti 5.16.0-rc1

IMHO it would be better to announce release candidate with the changelog done, so that people willing to test new features and changes know what to look at.

This version displays a bunch of errors at startup: 2026-05-01 11:12:46: ERROR[Main]: Client: Don't know how to load file "de_DE.po" 2026-05-01 11:12:47: ERROR[Main]: Client: Don't know how to load file "es.po" 2026-05-01 11:12:47: ERROR[Main]: Client: Don't know how to load file "fr.po" 2026-05-01 11:12:47: ERROR[Main]: Client: Don't know how to load file "it.po" 2026-05-01 11:12:47: ERROR[Main]: Client: Don't know how to load file "ms.po" 2026-05-01 11:12:47: ERROR[Main]: Client: Don't know how to load file "pt.po" 2026-05-01 11:12:47: ERROR[Main]: Client: Don't know how to load file "ru.po" 2026-05-01 11:12:47: ERROR[Main]: Client: Don't know how to load file "tr.po"

This is a bug in a game or more you're using, their .po files are named incorrectly

And also:

2026-05-01 11:12:47: ACTION[Main]: Client: Contacting remote server "https://minetestmedia.foo-projects.org/" 2026-05-01 11:12:47: ERROR[CurlFetch]: HTTPFetch for https://minetestmedia.foo-projects.org/index.mth failed: Could not resolve hostname

This media server is outdated

When trying to update mobs redo:

2026-05-01 11:21:06: ERROR[CurlFetch]: HTTPFetch for https://content.luanti.org/packages/Ten ... son=update returned response code 404

tenplus1 likes to delete his releases very quickly when making new releases, which causes these 404s. If you close and reopen the cdb dialog it should work again. The issue is https://github.com/luanti-org/contentdb/issues/574
